Title: Boats
Post by: en3r0 on July 16, 2003, 04:58:22 am

Why not have player controlled boats? Fishing ships, War ships, and your yaughts.

Of course the wouldn\'t be cheep...

yeh! This is what i wanted to post the other day but i completely forgot when i came to creating a new topic.

Guild owned boats would be dead cool.

I can imagine it now... two powerful guilds riding their battleships over the great seas, armed to the teeth, facing eachother in a fierce battle of cannons... each side\'s treaure, even their ship at stake. Only one will sail away from this conflict...

I like this too, but there would have to be a lot of water then, though.... a lake just wouldn\'t do it. You would need an ocean.

This idea opens up brand new paths for Planeshift to take. Just think of the possibilities...

Whole worlds of pure water and graceful waterbreathing races that inhabit the submerged coral cities.

Land-dwellers taking trips to the ocean floor in primitive tanks of air, seeking to havest the rare and beautiful pearls found nowhere else in the world.

Unique dangers found only in the murky depths of the water- sharks, giant squids, mythical horrors you only ever heard of in fairytales...

Boy, now I\'m all excited. I really hope we get something like that. :D

Well, as you may or may not know. The lower levels of the stalactite will be flooded with water. A race which is called Nolthrir if im not mistaken come from there. Don\'t know if there\'ll be underwater cities but it could very well be.
Atleast we can go there, that\'s something that i know (fairly :rolleyes: ) sure.

here\'s a picture that shows well that the lower levels are submerged.

boats nice...  it would be pretty cool if they were actually stearable... nothing like in Never Winter Nights *shudder* where they are just fixed elongated buildings with sales...

of course... it would be nice to steer away from realistis boats and go for the Elven brand: Creature Shaped boats... anything that LOOKS like it belongs in a fantasy

It would be very cool, like u said, ther cannons and raising the sails... Raiding Helpless ships then quickly sailing/rowing back to your island with all the spoils...

Of coruse there should be a \"coast guard\" of that certain kingdom that would eaither be ncp or real players who take the position as their job.

i think discovering the underwater ppl should be part of a quest tho.

I love this game :)

well that would be rather stupid now, wouldn\'t it?? :P

since the Nolthrir are a playable race...

If you want pirate action go take a look at the new game \"Pirates of the Carribean\" and get some ideas there... that is a great game... would be fun if sailing was to be implemented in PS that it could be sort of like it is in that game :)

EDIT: put in a \' too many :P

well as for the 6thing being sumbmerged i beleive that the lowest levels are but there is a level where its actually is a ocean sized like, sea weed farming happens there so there will likley be many port cities and whatnot, valuble sea weed i might add magical if im not mistaken.

The races are going to start the game in different locations right?  Will the the Nolithir start in the underwater realms?

While ships could go on the lake at the bottom of the staclatite while it would be god its not ideal pirates and stuff like that becasue if you here a rumour about pirates robbing people on the lake you just walk around or fly over the lake

It would be nice if there was some huge open seas above gorund with Islands and stuff or maybe in the caverns you could stumble across a huge cavern the size of an ocean filled with water with little Islands in it for giulds and pirates to take control of this way you could have huge armadas of ships and battle on the high seas for control of the islands or somthing like that

I dont know about the ship battling thing... it sounds like it would take up alot of gameplay and become some what of a nuisance... and if you guys want PC pirates which only makes since, well then the PKing rules will have to be altered... and I have this strange feeling that is not going to happen...

Post by: en3r0 on July 17, 2003, 02:05:13 am

well im just now starting to understand the concept of this game lol

What if above the cave and all the story lines is more \"world\" and up there it is a free for all type thing where it is kinda like just basic mmorpg.

House/castle building, pking, guild battles ect.

quests could also take place up there too.

There is a world above Yliakum, but you would have to be powerful to be able to survive the venture through the stone labyrinths.. I also doubt that Pking will be altered in the above...

hmm... I don\'t think we want Planeshift to be a \'just basic mmorpg\'

Post by: en3r0 on July 17, 2003, 04:54:11 am

what to u mean no pking?

and by basic mmorpg, i mean it would have all the basic features...

hehe, why dont you check the pking subforum in the wishlist forum area... I think you will understand what we said about pking then...

Title:
Post by: en3r0 on July 17, 2003, 04:09:21 pm

ive saw that... I dont really agree with no pking..

just find a system that makes it availble for those who want it, and if u dont want it, dont go to the place its allowed...

But if there is not pking, they better make up for it with the arenas ive herd about...
